The software for
cake designers

Portfolio site, custom quotes with online deposits, cost pricing and scheduling — everything you need to make a living from cake design, all in one place.

Built for custom orders

From the Instagram DM
to the signed quote

A portfolio that sells

Your creations full-page — wedding cakes, tiered cakes, number cakes, layer cakes. Your colors, your logo, your world: the site looks like your work, not a generic template.

A quote form built for custom work

Event date, number of servings, flavors, theme, budget, inspiration photo: you choose the questions. No more Instagram back-and-forth — the request comes in complete, and you reply with a proper quote.

Deposit collected on approval

Your client accepts the quote and pays the deposit online (secure Stripe payment) — as a percentage or a fixed amount, whichever you prefer. The date is locked in, and you're covered.

Your fair price, calculated

Ingredient sheets, working time, overheads: Patissio works out your cost price and the recommended price for every creation. No more selling 15 hours of work at a loss.

A calendar that says no for you

Orders, deliveries and workshops in a single calendar. You can see at a glance whether Saturday the 14th is still doable — before saying yes to the weekend's fourth tiered cake.

Your cake design classes, booked online

Publish your courses (beginner, advanced), set the seats and the deposit: sign-ups and payments run themselves.

Instagram isn't enough anymore

Your cake design website belongs to you

Instagram brings you requests — but incomplete ones, spread across ten messages, with no date and no budget, that fizzle out into a silent “I'll get back to you.” And your account could vanish tomorrow, taking your whole portfolio with it.

With Patissio, Instagram goes back to what it does best: showing off your work. The link in your bio points to your own site, where the client fills in your quote form, gets your proposal, and pays the deposit. Every request is complete, dated, and ready to turn into an order.

You start for free with your online portfolio; orders, quotes and deposits come with the Pro plan at €29/month — the price of the first slice of wedding cake sold at the right price.

Cake designers’ frequently asked questions

Which software to manage cake orders?

Cake design software handles the customer's request (custom form), the quote, the deposit and production planning. Patissio covers the whole chain: the request comes from your website, you price it, the customer pays the deposit online and the order lands in your planning.

Is there free software for cake designers?

Yes: Patissio's Starter plan is free with no time limit — professional storefront website and up to 50 creations. The calculators (cake design pricing, cost price) are free with no sign-up.

How do you price a custom cake?

Ingredients + working time + fixed costs + delivery, then your margin. Patissio's cake design price calculator (free, no sign-up) does the exercise in two minutes, and the price barometer gives the market ranges.

Does Patissio replace Instagram?

No — it completes it. Instagram attracts, Patissio closes: instead of negotiating in DMs, you send a link where the customer picks a creation, requests a quote and pays the deposit online.

Can I collect deposits online?

Yes: the customer pays the deposit (30% by default, adjustable) via secure Stripe payment when accepting the quote, and the balance is requested in one click. The money goes straight to your Stripe account.
